Protoform Nissan body for Vendetta

[Qwik86]

Hi guys, I’m new here but not new to RC Vehicles. I recently bought a new Nissan Z body for the Arrma Vendetta and I’m about to start cutting it out. I don’t see mirrors on the body in the images online but I’m trying to figure out if the two matching indented areas near the wing are to be used or just a design in the form.

Says they are headlight buckets!

It won’t look like the advertised version. I’m more of a one color kinda guy. I may try something different with it but I’d hate to ruin it.

Welcome to the forum, man. Do a build thread!

Thank you! The car is basically running but like others here, I don’t like the stock body. I plan to do some gear changes and testing but I’ll probably run the stock body until I get it set right. I bought this car used and I got a good deal so it only makes sense to install some aftermarket upgrades.

So I cut and painted the body. I’m not artistically skilled but I tried to be a bit creative. There are a few blemishes but not anything that won’t be forgotten after a few runs. I haven’t decided if I’m going to use the light buckets yet but I’m leaning towards putting them in. I guess it will depend on how the decals turn out, because they’re individually placed if using them. I basically used the 4 colors from the original bodies, Blue, Green, Red and Black. Once all the body decals are cut and placed, it should look a lot better.

I’m waiting for another set of mounts because the Vendetta mounts are too short but I’m happy with the outcome. The buckets for the lights weren’t turning out how I wanted so I put on the external stickers. I can still go back to the buckets but this will be fine for now.

Man, I think you just made me a fan of the Vendetta. I reeeally hate the stock body for those. That one looks way better

 

[Dan B.]
